PROSPERITY GOSPEL
I don't know what you feel about "prosperity gospel".
The health, wealth, and prosperity gospel.
But I'll tell you what I feel about it... HATRED.
IT IS NOT THE GOSPEL!
It's been spreading like a disease from cities to less fortunate places.
Deceiving those who have nothing, and knows no thing.
To BELIEVE THIS MESSAGE, and crops won't be infested.
You will be safe during calamities. You will be free from sickness.
You will have food, shelter and a happy home.
That's coming out of our mouth!
The people that ought to be giving our time and our money and our lives
Instead, we're selling a bunch of CRAP called "GOSPEL"
And here's the reason it is so HORRIBLE!
When was the last that any person ever said...
JESUS IS ALL SATISFYING BECAUSE...
You drove a BMW... NEVER!
They'll say, "did Jesus give you that?" "well I'll take Jesus!;
THAT'S IDOLATRY! THAT'S NOT THE GOSPEL!
That's elevating GIFTS above GIVER
I'll tell you what makes life beautiful...
It's when you almost see death and you recovered everything's gone
The HEALTH, the STRENGTH, the BEAUTY, the ABILITY...
Then you say...
"Through the deepest possible PAIN!
GOD IS ENOUGH! HE IS GOOD!
He will take care of us, He will satisfy us, He will get us through this.
He is our treasure, whom have I in heaven but YOU and in earth
There is nothing that I desire besides YOU
My flesh and my heart may fail but YOU...
YOU are the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
THAT MAKES GOD LOOK GLORIOUS!
As GOD, not as GIVER OF CARS or SAFETY or HEALTH
Oh, how I pray that churches would be purged of the HEALTH, WEALTH and PROSPERITY Gospel
And that the Christian church would be marked by SUFFERING FOR CHRIST
GOD IS MORE GLORIFIED IN YOU, WHEN YOU ARE MOST SATISFIED IN HIM
IN THE MIDST OF LOST, NOT PROSPERITY
GOD IS THE GOSPEL!
